the taliban denies recruiting children as suicide bombers. the facts tell a very different story. authorities say just a few days ago a 10-year-old orphan boy managed to escape from insurgents who were going to make him wear a suicide vest so he could blow himself up in front of coalition troops. rujallah has a 4-year-old son who he says he loves and misses very much. when i asked him how he'd feel if his child was used as a suicide bomber, he tells me -- "if he wants to be a suicide bomber when he gets older, well, then, no one can stop him. if he follows islam and does it for islam, then that's a good thing." at times he speaks with hatred in his eyes, and then there are moments when he smiles explaining this is all a test from god. "our real life starts after doomsday, so this is not our real life. this world is a paradise for pagans and a hell for muslims. we just need to be patient." the afghan intelligence service and armed forces say they have foiled dozens of attacks in recent months. and while that's an encouraging sign, rujallah says there are thousands of others just li
